Remaining Truly Anonymous on WSO

Lately I've been looking for advice on certain personal topics and want to turn to WSO to get a different perspective. I haven't turned to friends and family, well because they haven't lived through some of this stuff and most likely won't. (Majority of my circle is non-finance).

The question I'm looking to have answered is: how do you remain truly anonymous on WSO? Can I remain anonymous without having to create a burner as I have seen some users do? I am under the impression that once you build a profile, it is easier to figure out the person behind the screen is.

"DickFuld" Have you figured out who I am yet?

Yeah, its pretty obvious man. I jumped into immediate action once I found out who you you really were. I was the guy that punched you on the treadmill...
